The Hundredth Regiment (2"* S. vii. 67.) — 

 Your correspondent, Habgbavk Jennings, is to- 

 tally in error when he states that the number of 

 infantry regiments in the British army was limited 

 to "Ninety-Nine" up to June 22nd, 1858, when 

 a " Hundredth Regiment" was raised. In the 

 year 1763 there were 124 infantry regiments in 

 the British army ; but, owing to the peace of 

 February 10th, 1763, the number of infantry 

 regiments was reduced in that year to the 70th 

 Regiment inclusive. 



Another Hundredth Regiment, entitled " His 

 Royal Highness the Prince Regent's County of 

 Dublin Regiment," was embodied on February 

 28th, 180/5, and served for many years at home 

 and in our colonies. After the battle of Waterloo, 

 the 95th (Rifle Corps) was taken out of the regi- 

 ments of the Line, and th^ numbers of the In- 

 fantry regiments junior to the Rifle Brigade were 

 altered accordingly. Thus, the "96th" became 

 the " 95th Regiment ;" and the " 100th Regiment" 

 became the "99th Regiment." This corps was 

 disbanded at Chatham barracks, Kent, September 

 24tb, 1818. G. L. S. 



Curious Charge of Treason (2°* S. vii. 7.) — 

 The account given by your correspondent Ed- 

 ward Foss of Walter Walker, who was executed 

 for saying that he would make his son " Heir to 

 the Crown " is quite a new reading of a very old 

 piece of history, but so totally different from the 

 facts, which have been handed down to us, that I 

 deemed a few remarks would be acceptable. 



The Crown, as it will ever be under a monar- 

 chical government, was in former times a very 

 favourite sign, not merely with the publicans, to 

 which signs now are almost wholly confined, but 

 with other tradesmen ; and such was the jealous 

 tyranny of Edward IV. that one Walter Walker, a 

 respectable grocer, was executed for no other crime 

 than an equivoque arising out of the use of the 

 crown for a sign, 



" Tell them, how Edward put to death a citizen 

 Only for saying — lie would make his son 

 Heir to tlie Crown ; meaning, indeed, his house, 

 Which bv the sign hereof was called so." 



Richard III. 



Let me add another curious charge of treason, 

 and one which ia not so well known. In the year 



1632, King Charles I. paid a visit to the city of 

 New Sarum, Salisbury, when a boy only fifteen 

 years of age was d7'awn, hanged, and quartered for 

 saying that be would buy a pistol to kill the king.

Fenelon : Euphemius (2"* S. vi. 287.)— The title 

 of the book quoted by G. M. nearly corresponds 

 with — 



"Traite Historique contenant le Jugement d'un Pro- 

 testant sur la Theologie Mystique, sur le Quietism, et 

 sur les demelez de I'Eveque de Meaux avec I'Archeveque 

 de Cambray, jusqu'k la Bulle d'InnocentXII., et TAsseai- 

 blee Provinciale de Paris, du 13 de May, 1699 inclusive- 

 ment. Avec le Probleme Eccksiastique contre I'Archeveqae 

 de Paris. 2* Ed. corrig^e et augment^e. L'an 1700." * 



Perhaps the Historical Treatise was translated 

 from the first edition. The second does not con- 

 tain the passage cited, but the following seems to 

 relate to the same matter : — 



" Assur^ment il (Bossuet) en rapporte des choses fort 

 singuliferes, et meme fort divertissantes, particuliferement 

 cette plenitude de grace, qui faisoit crever acluellement la 

 dame comme une nourrice creve de lait. Elle mouroit de 

 plenitude, et cela surpassoit ses sens au point de la faire 

 crever. Ce qui seroit arrive sans doute, si une charitable 

 Duchesse ne I'eut d^lassee. Encore ne put-on empecher 

 que son corps ne crevat des deux cotez. Elle ne fut sou- 

 lage'e qu'en communiquant de sa plenitude k son confes- 

 seur, et h deux autres personnes. L'Eveque decouvre ces 

 mystferes, qui n'^toient connus que de lui, pour rendre 

 ridicule la Dame Guyon, et I'Archeveque de Cambray qui 

 ne la veut pas condamner." — P. 196. 



Euphemius is the Euphemos of Apollonius 

 Rhodius : —

Heralds College during the Commonwealth (2°* 

 S. vi. 526. ; vii. 99.)— After the abolition of thaStar 

 Chamber, and the Courts of Wards and Liveries, 

 an attempt was made (a.d. 1640) to dissolve the 

 Earl Marshal's Court, or the Court of Chivalry. 

 In the debate, 16 April, Hyde declaimed against 

 it as a grievance, and among other things stated 

 that " a citizen of good quality, a merchant, was 

 by that court ruined in his estate, and his body 

 imprisoned for calling a Swan a Goose." The at- 

 tempt, however, seems to have dropped. Shortly 

 after Sir Edward Walker^ the Garter Klng-at- 

 Arms, went into exile with his master, leaving 

 Bysshe and Riley to manage the aflViirs of the 

 College, and they are said to have made large
